SOFTWARE: About free software.....


Today you can easily find out various types of software, which is necessary for you. You can get those software by using the keyword or communicating phrases of your necessary software in the search place of world popular web based search machine Google, yahoo, ask etc. After finding the desire software you can notify that many of these software’s are free! You also can see that those software’s can be easily downloaded with a single click and easily installing without any kind of registry formalities in your computer.

 In fact, few people have some question in their mind about the full realm of “free” software.

Questions are:

[1] What is actually express as “free” software?

[2] To using this software is there any limitation?


At first, we need to identify what the “free” software is:


FREE SOFTWARE: 

Any people can use this software freely, share with anyone, also can be modified in anywhere for any kind of reason. Moreover to re-produce this kind of software, the main condition is that without making any change of the legal terms of free use, modification and production under the General public license, as stipulated by the Free Software Foundation about the produced version of the free software.

Now, the word “free” in the condition “free software” is about freedom, not price. Anyone can be permitted to sell this kind of free software or distribute it for a fee and anyone can modify the software who already purchase the software.

Free software like an plant of tree 

ABOUT LIMITATION QUESTION:

In terms of limitations, using free software has fewer limitations. It also has great flexibility in usage. For this reason software developer and programmer are now willing to developing that software. But why software developer and programmer are willing to developing that software?


In answer of that question, surprisingly we find that it is actually cheaper to modifying or developing free computer software!  Under the General Public License any several software generally put together for using a number of little software program packages which are also developed and provided. The completed software is then distributed to part of beta examiners which have programmers, who try to finding out the errors of that software and provide their experience or comments about that software for developing the software.

At the end, if all computer users are not always welcome for more different kind of free and necessary software, as a result of whichever objective they probably are developed for. Moreover, all free software users need to keep in their mind that the best approach of the legal usage of free software is installing it only for your own purpose. It should be mentioned that do NOT take step to sell or distribute that free software for your own profit. Unless, you are fully doubt of it’s origin and classification.
